For a limited time, the digital deluxe edition is being offered for pre-order at the same price as the standard edition at $49.99/£44.99. A collector’s edition will also be made available, which includes three post-launch DLC packs, and physical items, priced at $109.99/£99.99. Desperados 3 is the prequel to 2001’s Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, and is a Wild West-themed tactics game played from an isometric perspective. You’ll have a team of five gunslingers in your gang, each with unique skills and abilities to help hold your ground in six-shooter showdowns. There’s an emphasis on stealth tactics, but “blazing guns” is promised by the developer as a valid option.

Desperados 3 shares much in common with Pyro Studio’s WW2 classic, albeit with the added learnings of two decades of video game design.
